An
unemployed man has been jailed after plumbers who were called to fix his
central heating found a semi-automatic Russian military pistol and
silencer hidden on his broken boiler.
David
Cooper, 51, called out the workmen in Luton after his boiler failed,
leaving him with no hot water or heating - and they found the Baikal
handgun, known a Makarov pistol, in a bag.
The
pair told Cooper that they had to pop out to get a part for the boiler -
and promptly phoned 999, before his home was raided by armed officers
from Bedfordshire Police the next day.
Police
discovered the pistol - the standard military and police firearm used
in Russia during the Cold War - and silencer on top of the boiler, and
found his fingerprints on both of them.
Cooper
pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm without a licence following
the discovery by the workmen on March 7 - and he was jailed for five
years at Luton Crown Court on April 12.

Denounced to the Organs of the State. Ironic, given the origin of the pistol, huh?
ReplyDeleteGood point. The English seem to be finished.
DeleteI reckon that's a good demonstration of "If you see something, say something."
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for the guy. Especially considering he's in Luton, which has been taken over by muzzies. I reckon he should have found himself a better hiding place, knowing that someone was going to come in and be messing around his boiler.

DeleteReally.
